Wintle, 27, is a PE Teacher in Bristol and had previous spells with Bishop Sutton and Larkhall Athletic where he was part of the Toolstation Premier Division championship side in 2013/14.

He then spent three campaigns with Keynsham Town, culminating with only just missing out on promotion to the Toolstation Premier with a fourth placed finish last season.

Wintle said: “Having recently moved to Gloucester after living in Bristol all my life I wanted to continue to play football. I knew Mark (Moore) so it was an easy decision to come along.

“I’m looking forward to getting started and just want to do my best for the football club. As ever I aim for more clean sheets than last season and a higher league position than the team achieved last season.”

Moore, who replaced James French at the helm, added: “Ash settled in right from the very first session he had with us last season. He is a great lad with a good pedigree behind him and so we are really pleased to have him along at the football club.”

Wintle and the rest of the Longlevens squad began their pre-season training schedule on Tuesday night with a gym session at Titan Training and continue this evening at their Longford Lane ground.
